Give me that over two "great workers" that spend 23 minutes giving us the moves they always do, before spending the next 90 seconds giving us whatever finish needed to justify the samey rematch. The 14-man tournament for the WWE Championship is beset with scheming and rigging from the corporate lever-pullers, with a sense of unpredictability hanging in the air. Survivor Series 1998 sees some of that neater focus. It's only got about two matches that would meet the loftier expectations of pay-per-view quality bouts, but of course - what does that matter when, story-wise, the show is about as complex and multi-layered as something off of Metallica's And Justice For All album? Though 1999 would mostly see WWE present shock value for the sake of it, 1998 saw finer tuning in the main event scene. The 1998 Survivor Series flies in the face of modern standards for what a good/great wrestling show is supposed to be.
